Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 136 Father and Son

The chaotic battleships sailing out of the Eye of Mystery in the turbulent flow of the subspace can be divided into 9 different specifications from large to small, and each specification has 9, 99, and 999 warships, forming a A fleet of holy numbers consisting of thousands of Chaos warships.

There are not only imperial battleships controlled by the Thousand Sons Wizard in the Holy Number Fleet, but also a large number of strange and unknown alien spacecraft.

Some of them are the remnants of aliens that were wiped out by the emperor during the Great Crusade era. A few battleships carried an entire civilization, drifting in the sea of ​​souls until now, until they were guided here by the Lord of Change.

What's more, it's the wreckage of the ship lost and crashed in the subspace for a long time. The dying machine souls unconsciously put together together to keep warm while drifting with the current, and then aggregated and mutated. After a long time, they merged with each other and transformed. Made these deformed creations named "debts" by the Lord of Change.

The degree of mutation of the "debt" is far more thorough than the chaotic battleship controlled by the Thousand Sons warriors. Compared with the battleship, it is more like some kind of subspace creature in a mechanical body, and every piece is forcibly pieced together Abominable flames burn on every part.

Under the influence of Ahriman's "Red Letter Spell", a considerable number of warriors in the Thousand Sons Legion were burned to the ground, imprisoned their souls, and turned into hollow armor driven by witchcraft.Only a few members whose psychic power was strong enough to a certain level survived and gained the psychic enhancement of the Scarlet Letter spell.

For the Thousand Sons, the huge "debt" floating in the void was nothing unbearable. They were already accustomed to getting along with all kinds of twisted monsters in the chaos.But when it comes to aliens, it's a different story.

As early as during the unification war of Terra before the start of the Great Crusade, the human emperor had directly programmed the bloody hatred against aliens into the underlying gene sequence of the monks of Astartes. For all intelligent creatures, this engraved hatred at the genetic level is difficult to change even if they fall into chaos.

The various aliens who encountered the genocide of the Great Crusade also had the same hatred for human beings.

This is a dark age without even a ray of brilliance that can be called "love". In the galaxy, there is only hatred and war.

Therefore, even if the chaos-ridden Thousand Sons had to swallow their breath and join this holy number fleet to fight against the alien due to the will of the irresistible Lord of Change, deep down, they still longed to be able to flank themselves immediately. The warp wave cannons fired from the xenos' ships slaughtered the filthy xenos remnants.

With such a longing, many Thousand Sons wizards all cast their eyes on the tall figure standing on the bow of the boat, staring silently at their father who was already very strange.

The Lord of Prospero, the King of Wizards, the No.15 son of the Emperor, and the Demon Prince of Tzeentch - "Red Devil" Magnus.

He used to be the best scholar in the whole galaxy, and the leading psionic master in the human empire. He was knowledgeable, wise, enlightened, and eager to learn. He was willing to sacrifice one of his eyes in order to cure the mutation of his descendant's flesh and blood.

He once established a kingdom of scholars and psykers on Prospero, spread the light of knowledge with his vast library, and helped young and inexperienced psykers discover and control their potential.

Under the leadership of the Father of Genes, the Thousand Sons collected and sorted out subspace and psionic knowledge from all over the galaxy. It was also at that time that the King of Wizards wrote the great book of witchcraft "Magnu The Book of Adams.

It was such a learned scholar and seeker who personally destroyed the future of mankind.

The current Magnus is an indescribable mass standing on the bow of the battleship, because the connection with the subspace is too deep, and the physical form of Magnus has not been stable for a moment.His body is constantly changing every moment, and only a few features that represent his concept of existence can be barely identified.

Such as his red skin, tall body, and the one eye that constantly changes in different colors.

This is the only trace left of the existence of Magnus.

The Primarch's gene also contained the distaste for aliens written down by the Emperor himself, and what the Thousand Sons are now curious about is whether the father of the gene, who has been promoted to the Prince of Demons, still retains the copy from the Emperor. hate?
The Red Devil standing at the bow just looked up at the sickly crimson starry sky without saying a word.

Stepping back to Magnus' left side, there stands a Thousand Sons wizard wearing a witchcraft helmet with 3 pairs of curved long horns and holding a black staff.He was far taller than his Thousand Sons brothers, but still far less imposing than the Primarch.

But even when standing behind Magnus, his body was always standing straight, without the slightest groveling attitude.

He is one of the most legendary fighters of the Thousand Sons Legion, the red wizard, the god-chosen of Tzeent, and the man trapped by fate-"The Exile" Ahriman.

It should have been a very warm scene for the father and son to stand together and go to the battlefield, but Ahriman's sideways glance at his genetic father was vaguely burning with the flame of hatred.

The conflict between father and son stems from the two scarlet letter spells that Ahriman cast successively. The first release of this forbidden spell played by Tzeentch turned the Thousand Sons Legion into "Thousand Sons", and the second scarlet letter spell Controlled by Magnus, it is used to restore his soul to almost complete.

Ahriman therefore hated Magnus, and this hatred is still so clear after a thousand years.

Ahriman is still walking on the desperate road of finding a way to save the Thousand Sons Legion. It was not until the eve of the No.13 Black Crusade a thousand years later that he saw the ability to reverse the situation from the leader of the Death Army, "Everene". The mighty power of the god of death of the scarlet letter spell.

But now, his life is still sinking in despair, and the dejected Ahriman is procrastinating in responding to the call of the Lord of Change, showing a negative and sabotage attitude.

Magnus actually hated this deviant heir very much, but due to the evil arrangements of the Lord of Change, they still stood on the same battleship with great reluctance. After the wolf mother star Fenris, they fought side by side for the first time.

Ahriman raised his head and stared at the sickly starry sky that had already been stained scarlet by the swarm of worms with eyes burning with blue spiritual flames. After a few seconds, he quickly lowered his head again.

His psionic cultivation was second to none among the Astartes, but the scarlet shadow covering the starry sky was already beyond Ahriman's comprehension. The last time it was the so-called gods of the Eldar that gave him this feeling.

Perhaps Magnus could see the nature of the shadow?Such thoughts flashed through Ahriman's mind, and soon dissipated.He is less inclined to turn to the Red Devils for help.

"Ariman, my son."

In the end, it was Magnus who broke the awkward silence between father and son, ignoring Ahriman's soul fluctuations hidden under his helmet, and continued, "Do you know what the enemy we are about to face is?"

Ahriman took a deep breath and said, "'Scarlet Shadow', 'Abyss of Despair', 'Unspeakable Horror'."

He repeated the words of Tzeentch, the god of ravens.

Magnus heard Ahriman's attitude, so he swallowed the words that had reached his throat, and did not continue to say anything.

Ahead, the huge biological mothership fluttered with long tentacles, surrounded by countless adult battleships, and rushed towards the Tzeentch Holy Number Fleet that had just passed through the Eye of Mystery and came to the real universe.

The attack of the swarm came from every direction, and they had completely surrounded the entire flare galaxy. Their absolute size advantage allowed them to launch a saturated attack without any focus or all of them.

Driven by the will of the Lord of Change, the patchwork Chaos Fleet maintained basic tactical cooperation.The Wizards of the Thousand Sons communicated with the machine soul through psychic energy, and manipulated the battleship to form a defensive circle formation.

The chaotic flagship "Sky's Fallen Feather" where Magnus and Ahriman were located, and the Eumenides of the Death Stalker Chapter were surrounded by a defensive formation composed of other Thousand Sons warships, and the outer The ring is composed of a large number of alien warships.

On the outermost side of the defense formation are thousands of deformed "debts" entwined with ominous black arts. They are used by the Thousand Sons Legion as cannon fodder to resist the swarm, riding on the subspace turbulence that constantly gushes out from the eyes of mystery, they directly meet them. On the menacing swarm.
